A compilation of queens from the early 70s:
Carry On Girls” (1973) Jimmy Logan as Cecil Gaybody
“Close order swanning about” from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus, episode #22, 24 November 1970
“Camp Judges” (Eric Idle and Michael Palin) from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus, episode 21, 17 November 1970
"Carry On Abroad" (1972)- Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and John Clive
“Clarence” (“Hello, Honky-tonk”) and “Hettie” characters played by Dick Emery
There is a minor fashion issue to raise: both "Clarence" and "Cecil Gaybody" are wearing godawfully ugly peaked hats. In "Doctor in Trouble" (1970), Graham Chapman plays a bitchy gay photographer who never appears with his peaked cap. Joe Orton wears his cap. Was "the hat" some sort of signal? A sub-military butch touch, which then goes horribly wrong, all floppy and purple? Or am I just being overly-attentive?
